Best Shortfill E-liquids To Buy In 2026

Best Shortfill E-liquids To Buy In 2026

By:

Gone are the days of carrying multiple bottles of e-liquid. Shortfills have made vaping more convenient as they come in bigger bottles and at a better value. The flexibility of adding nicotine shots is also a big plus, as shortfill bottles come with extra free space, so you can adjust the nicotine strength to your preference.

It’s no surprise that shortfill e-liquids have become a go-to choice for many vapers looking for flavour variety and longer-lasting vape juice.

With so many options available, finding the best options on the market can feel overwhelming. That’s why our Vape Superstore team compiled a list of the most popular shortfills in the UK.

Key Takeaways

  • Shortfill e-liquids offer larger bottles, better value, and the flexibility to add nicotine shots.

  • Many of the best shortfills come in a variety of flavours, including fruity, icy, dessert, and classic profiles.

  • Choosing the right shortfill depends on your vaping style, device compatibility, and flavour preferences.

What Are Shortfill E-Liquids?

Shortfill e-liquids remain one of the most popular choices for vapers who want bigger bottles, better value, and the freedom to add nicotine shots if needed. Unlike standard e-liquids, shortfills come nicotine-free with extra space in the bottle so that you can customise the nicotine strength according to your preference.

At Vape Superstore, you can find a wide selection of e-liquids from renowned brands, from bold fruity and icy combinations to rich desserts and classic tobacco profiles.

Most shortfills feature higher VG ratios and are designed for sub-ohm or direct-to-lung vaping. They also produce thicker vapour and deliver smooth flavour.

Final Thoughts

If you want to carry only one vape juice bottle, shortfills are among the most popular options, offering a wide variety of flavours and the flexibility to add nicotine shots if needed.

FAQ's

Shortfill e-liquids are larger bottles of vape juice that contain no nicotine but leave space for nicotine shots to be added. They’re popular among vapers who want bigger bottles, more flavour options, and the flexibility to customise nicotine strength.

Shortfills are available for all types of vaping styles. 50:50PG/VG ratio options are perfect for low-powered MTL (mouth-to-lung) pod kits. Whereas high 70VG shortfills work better with more powerful sub-ohm vape kits for DTL (direct-to-lung) vaping.

This depends on the bottle size and the space left inside. For example, 50ml shortfills allow one nicotine shot and 100ml shortfills have room for two nicotine shots. This creates a maximum 3mg nicotine strength. If you wish to vape higher nicotine strengths, you should switch to pre-mixed 10ml freebase and nic salt bottles.

Shortfills are better value than 10ml bottles. You get more vape liquid for less. This makes them more economical, but the volume of e-liquid you consume will be determined by your vaping habits, not the bottle size. Using a shortfill means you'll be using the same bottle for longer when compared to a 10ml volume, so there is less to carry and less waste.
